Uncle Sam? Is that you?

Uncle Sam Skull tattoo, this was fun to do. I like when people bring in cool designs to be tattooed. Some of us hold onto a picture or idea for a long time intending to someday get them inked into the skin, don't postpone joy! Get Inked today!

Man's Best Friend

Portrait of his favorite dog. Keeping the memory alive in the skin. German Shepard.
A permanent reminder of a friend,these simple lines capture the real image. A few simple lines, inked into the skin will always be a permanent reminder of a friendship shared.One more .... a favorite Rottie puppy, this was from a picture of the pup at 12 weeks old.

Angel and Sacred Heart

This Sacred Heart and angel tattoo looks cool with a new school style. So this is the tattoo that started off a very busy Saturday. Our Fourth of July weekend had been rained out but the dry cool indoors of Rose City Tattoo was the alternative place to be. So if your plans have been rained out come on in and check us out. Working as a tattoo artist is a lot of fun, you never know what is coming next! What is your next tattoo?

The Art Of The Cover Up

Why not get that name? It can always be covered up.
Here you see the tattoo with the outline complete.
Now the finished tattoo. I think it will be better to go through the rest of your life with a nice looking tattoo that doesn't look like a cover up. The finished tattoo doesn't just cover the old tattoo well, it also looks like it was designed and placed where it belongs.

Dragon Cross and Roses

Taking the rough ideas that people bring me is the first step to creating a cool tattoo. The original sketch was tall and skinny, which would have led to a tattoo that does not fill the arm like this one does. So bring in your ideas, no matter how well they are drawn, we can bring out what you are looking for.

Rosary Tattoo

Often we get people coming into the shop with a picture of someone's tattoo. In this case it was Alyssa Milano's Rosary tattoo. After seeing the original, done on the rich and famous, I notice that even famous people walk into the wrong shop and get tattooed by the wrong Tattooist. Go see for yourself just Google her tattoo and compare. Hey, if it's worth putting on your body, then it is worth doing as good as it can be!

Bald Eagle Cover Up Tattoo

So a guy walks into a tattoo shop... sounds like a start of a joke, but seriously which tattoo shop you walk into could mean all the difference in how your tattoo comes out. Here I used an American Eagle Tattoo to cover a poorly done and totally backward Eagle Globe and Anchor Tattoo. A type of tattoo I take a lot of pride in doing well. So beware on where and who tattoos you, not all tattoo mistakes can be easily covered up. I will have a before picture of the covered tattoo soon.

The Small tattoo has its place.

Star Flower Tattoo
Irish Claddah

Pisces in Black and gray. Lily on the foot.
